A practical guide to the current development release.

Accounts, domains and members

A domain is an independent area where you, a business or an organization uses Kernel. Each domain keeps its own material, membership and permissions. SelfKernel brings domains you can access into one interface.

Add an existing domain after signing in

1. Sign in to your platform account at selfkernel.com and choose Add domain.
2. Enter the domain address supplied by its administrator, choose Personal domain or Organization domain, and select Connect.
3. The domain page reuses your existing sign-in. If you are not signed in there, sign in with your domain account.
4. You return to SelfKernel with the domain available. An existing browser sign-in needs neither a copied invitation nor another administrator confirmation.

You can also start on the domain website: open your personal or organization settings and choose Add to my SelfKernel, then sign in to your platform account.

The address identifies the domain to connect; you do not need to choose an unbound domain from a list. Your platform account identifies you. Your domain account determines what you can read and do. Adding a domain does not expand those permissions.

First sign-in on a phone

A new phone still needs separate authorization. In domain settings, choose Authorize mobile app sign-in, create a one-time invitation, scan it with the mobile app, then confirm the new device on the domain website. This is separate from adding a domain in your browser.

Administrators and members

Administrators manage members, sources and device permissions. Members work within their permitted scope. Ask an administrator for additional access rather than sharing an administrator password.

More than one domain

Personal and organization domains can stay independently connected, while only one is active. Check the title after switching. Material, conversations and permissions do not automatically merge because the same interface is used.

Sign-in reuse and encrypted connection have been verified with two real organization domains. Business features remain subject to each domain's services and your permissions.

Leaving a team, a lost device or account trouble

Ask the administrator to revoke membership or device access that is no longer needed. SelfKernel cannot continue accessing a revoked domain. Recover a Google account through Google; email sign-in uses a code sent to your mailbox. Existing username accounts retain their original recovery method. These methods do not restore revoked domain permissions.

Sign-in methods and existing accounts

New accounts use Google or an email code. Matching email addresses never silently merge separate Google and email accounts. To use both methods on one account, sign in first, then add the other method. Existing usernames, passwords and recovery files remain valid for their original accounts. Use verification codes only for sign-ins you initiated; never share them. A company email does not grant business administrator access.
